So #DuckDuckGo have a browser. Well - let's give it a spin. Do we add this to PUP list? Installed it on a brand new stock Windows laptop. The first thing you get is some sort of induction/onboarding screen, 1 of 4 - groan ok, first page obvious information, second page ... a video... I can't see how to stop this and just start using the browser, because tempus fugit. Nope. Onboard or Uninstall that is your options. Uninstalled.

Leave Google now and help others doing the same by:

  1. Switching #Duckduckgo or #Kagi (using !g if Google is really needed)

  2. Creating an email account on one of the many ethical alternative while asking gmail to redirect all email received.

  3. Trying @organicmaps and adding your business information on OpenStreetMaps (opening hours, etc)

  4. Creating a @peertube account on an instance and uploading your videos there

All those steps can be achieved by yourself, alone!

The duck is ok...sans ai. #DuckDuckGo

failedLyndonLaRouchite, to privacy

Theorem
to setup a search engine that is even 1/10th as good as google would take, roughly, a gazillion dollars

Corollaries
1
No SO is, overall, in the long run, better then google at #privacy or is less #enshittified

2
People who say #DuckDuckGo or some other SE is better then G havvent thought this thru

Zum Wochenende: Ausgesucht

Der gestrige Ausfall vieler Suchmaschinen zeigt eine systemische Schwäche und sollte zum Nachdenken anregen.

Potestowałem tego chata AI z DuckDuckGo i jest bezużyteczny. Okroili go z wielu rzeczy, prywatności, nieszkodzenia nikomu, nawet kodu Morse'a nie odszyfruje.

Was war eigentlich gestern bei #duckduckgo, #ecosia & co los?
Ich finde nichts in der Presse dazu, nicht mal bei den Fachzeitungen.

Duck Duck Go is down because Bing is down.

(Also, you saw the recent AI stuff, right?)

Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).

So it seems that was down for the last few hours because of a outage. That's very annoying; DDG should probably get out from under Microsoft's coat tails...

23.5.2024 - Der Tag an dem offensichtlich wurde, dass Bing praktisch die einzige verbliebene Alternative zu Google ist. Alle anderen "Suchmaschinen" sind Bing mit Schlapphut und Trenchcoat. 🕵️

Die Suchmaschine Bing, jetzt mit KI, ist momentan scheinbar überbelastet und deswegen down:
👉 https://allestörungen.ch/stoerung/bing/

Doch die Auswirkung ist mehr als nur bei ihnen, auch bei "alternativen" Suchmaschinen, die Bing im Hintergrund nutzen:

  • Ecosia
  • Duck Duck Go
  • Start Page
  • Dog Pile
  • Swiss Cows
  • ...

🔎 Was als zufärlässige Alternative genutzt werden kann, seht ihr in meiner Timeline.

#DuckDuckGo has been down all morning. First time I've seen that, from what I remember. Hugs to whoever is working on getting search back right now.

I've tried in multiple browsers, both with and without plugins enabled, yet DuckDuckGo is still failing to provide search results (here, at least) just responding;

There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.

It's been this way for several hours. Anyone else seeing the same? I'm in the UK.

Puisque DDG semble (semblait ?) avoir des problèmes et qu'il est temps de penser à des alternatives, en voilà une autre: @metapress

C'est une extension à installer dans son ordinateur qui va aller directement interroger les moteurs de recherche internes à chaque site.

  • C'est garanti sans intermédiaire qui fait des choses avec nos données (mais du coup pose problème pour trier)
  • c'est du vrai web parce que mon user-agent va interroger les sources et pas un proxy
  • c'est impossible de consommer moins d'énergie que ça parce que juste pas de datacenter ni de machines à fabriquer et faire tourner 24/7
  • c'est garanti libre de bout en bout: https://framagit.org/Siltaar/meta-press-ext

Merci à @Siltaer pour le taff

While #DuckDuckGo is down, I tried out a few other search engines. I did a search I made yesterday in each. #Bing gave me an interesting looking blog first, then some less-related info from high-trust sources, then an interesting paper, then a bunch of garbage. #Mojeek gave me nothing that looked interesting, just pages that used some of the words from my search. #Kagi gave me the less-related high-trust sources first, then the entire rest of the first page looked interesting.

Why doesn't #Tor use an #opensource #searchengine such as #searx by default?

Does a pretty good job & has 80+ instances available at:

https://searx.space/ 😀

That should ensure a better uptime & reliability than #duckduckgo & of course - way better everything - than #bing 👍
